The latest addition to the Halter Ranch vehicle pool is a revamped 1980’s Land Rover Defender which allows us to tour parties of up to 8 people around the entirety of the vineyard and winery. Tours will take place at 10am Saturday and Sunday mornings initially with the addition of more days and times based upon demand. The two hour journey begins on the historic half of the Halter Ranch property and circumnavigates the planted acreage before arriving at the winery. It offers an in depth look at our operation from bottom to top along with choice tastings at both the Ancestor Oak and the pinnacle of our planting in block 52.

This tour will be available by appointment (reservations@halterranch.com or 805.226.9455 ext. 36) to club members for $35 per person and the general public for $40 per person.

As the HRV train keeps moving we will continue offering additional tour and tasting options. Keep an eye here on the blog and on our facebook, twitter, and google+ feeds for photos, updates, and a plethora of exciting new developments. Check back here next Wednesday for some words from Kevin on what makes our vineyard so special. Cheers until then!

The 2014 Bridge Dinner sold out before we even officially announced it.

Beyond the beautiful setting and Kevin’s delicious wines I we must credit the reputation and absolutely delectible culinary creations of Suzanne Tracht and her crew from Jar Restaurant in Los Angeles for the rabid and rapid response from our patrons. On that note, this meal was unforgettably stellar. (more…)
